Techniques and systems for performing a perception analysis for a robotic stowing operation are described. An example technique includes obtaining, via multiple sensors, multiple first images, wherein each first image is an image of a different container of an inventory holder within a robotic workcell. A first machine learning (ML) and image processing pipeline is performed with the first images to determine displacement locations for the containers of the inventory holder. A second ML and image processing pipeline is performed with the first images to determine content signatures for the containers. A plan is generated for stowing a first item into a first container, based at least in part on the plurality of content signatures and the plurality of displacement locations. A robotic apparatus is controlled to stow the first item into the first container, based on the plan.

Visual perception and techniques for placing inventory into pods with a robotic workcell

Techniques and apparatus describe a robotic workcell for performing a robotic stowing operation. The robotic workcell includes a mechanism system, which includes a first robotic gantry, a second robotic gantry, and a controller. The first robotic gantry includes a first mount and a robotic end effector(s) attached to the first mount. The second robotic gantry includes a second mount and at least one end effector attached to the second mount. The controller controls movement of the first mount, the second mount, and the robotic end effector(s), based in part on an analysis of an environment with one or more perception sensors.
